First, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the many laboratories and individual researchers who generously provided their data for this analysis. Some even provided data from work in progress.
The manuscript has seen many iterations and has been significantly improved in content and in form. The contributions of Dr. Edwin C. May—CSL, Professor Jessica Utts—University of California at Davis, Professor Peter Sturrock—Stanford University and Dr. Richard Broughton—Institute for Parapsychology are deeply appreciated. This work could not have proceeded without their support and counsel.
